Why an Original Painting Is the Best Kind of Investment
Hey there! I want to tell you a little story about why I’m so passionate about creating original Australian art, and it starts with a big life change.
For years, my little family loved our life in Sydney’s Manly, but eventually, we outgrew our apartment (and our walls!). We took the leap, bought our first house, and suddenly found ourselves surrounded by something both exciting and slightly terrifying… blank walls everywhere.
After putting so much love into creating our new home, I realised I didn’t want to just fill those spaces with “something pretty.” I wanted art that had meaning — pieces that felt like they had a story and soul behind them. That moment changed everything for me.
Now, every piece I paint comes from that same place — of creating something real and personal. Here’s why I believe investing in an original artwork (and not a print) is one of the best things you can do for your home — and your heart.
I’ve always believed that owning original art isn’t about following trends; it’s about finding a piece that truly connects with you.
Because good art should grow with you — not fade with time.
1. It’s a One-of-a-Kind Treasure
When you choose an original painting, you’re choosing a piece that exists once — ever. No copies, no duplicates. Just the brushstrokes, energy, and moments that went into making it.
Owning an original is kind of like having a secret — no one else in the world will ever have that exact piece. It holds a story, a feeling, and a little bit of the artist’s heart. It’s more than décor — it’s a connection.
2. Art That Finds You
I truly believe art finds its person. So often, collectors tell me they “just knew” when they saw a piece — it instantly felt like theirs. That moment of recognition is what I love most about creating.
You’re not just hanging something on your wall — you’re inviting in a feeling, a memory, or even a new energy that fits perfectly with your space
3. A Story That Grows With You
Each original painting carries a bit of history — yours and mine. It becomes part of your home’s story: the backdrop to family dinners, quiet nights in, and all the little moments in between.
Over time, it becomes more than something you bought — it becomes a part of your life. Maybe one day, it’ll even be passed down, carrying your story along with it.
So, why original?
Because when you invest in an original, you’re choosing something meaningful. Something that can’t be replicated. You’re saying yes to story, soul, and a little bit of magic on your walls.
